History
The town was founded on the shores of Lake Irtyash in 1947. Until 1994, it was known as Chelyabinsk-65, and even earlier, as Chelyabinsk-40 (the name is taken from the nearest city Chelyabinsk, which was a common practice of giving names to closed towns, plus the last digits of the postal code). Codenamed City 40, Ozyorsk was the birthplace of the Soviet nuclear weapons program launched after the Second World War. Ozyorsk and Richland in the US were the first two cities in the world to produce plutonium for use in Cold War atomic bombs. In 1994, it was granted town status and renamed Ozyorsk. This name, roughly meaning "Lake Town" in Russian, references the city's numerous nearby lakes.
